Wrap the drained tofu in a clean towel and set it on a plate. Place a heavy pan or a large can on top to press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Place the pressed tofu in a food processor and pulse in short bursts for 10 to 15 seconds until it forms coarse crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 6 minutes until the tofu looks dry and crumbly. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and honey. Microwave for 20 seconds until the mixture is fluid, then whisk in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the cooled tofu crumbs to a mixing bowl and toss with the cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the top and stir well to form a thick dough. Taste and add a pinch more salt if the flavor is flat.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to firm up for 30 minutes. If the dough is still sticky after chilling, mix in a little more cocoa powder and chill 10 minutes more. When ready, wet your hands slightly and scoop the dough, rolling it into 6 even bites, about 2 tablespoons each.
